Death by Algorithm (2019), Data Lords (2020), and Deathwave (2021) are 1/1 artworks by XCOPY that chart a dark progression through the digital condition. Death by Algorithm captures the terror of surrendering autonomy to unseen systems, while Data Lords introduces the watchers—surveillance entities that manipulate and monetize our every move. Deathwave delivers the final blow: a digital grim reaper embodying the erosion of agency itself, not through force, but through endless passive submission. Together, these works offer a visceral warning about the forces shaping our attention, behavior, and sense of self.

Minted in 2018 on the now-defunct platform R.A.R.E. Art Labs, these early works by XCOPY are often referred to as the “Lost XCOPYs.” Their historical significance lies not only in their scarcity, but in how they helped define the visual and conceptual foundation of crypto art, especially around themes of decay, resistance, and digital chaos.

Max Pain and Frens is an NFT series consisting of an open edition, two ranked auctions, a drawing, and two burn levels released through the Nifty Gateway platform. The minting window for Max Pain (the open edition) lasted ten minutes.

DAMAGE CONTROL is a glitch art series that explores dystopian themes and technological decay. Characterized by fragmented, high-contrast visuals, the artworks depict unsettling futuristic landscapes and figures, reflecting a chaotic digital world. Through advanced digital manipulation, XCOPY critiques the pervasive impact of technology, conveying a sense of societal collapse.
